February 1993:
Sometime shortly before the incident described below was the famous incident where the Rihannsu merchant HGR Fvai, piloted by Klari, destroyed the Klignon scout IKV Hatouk. A number of skirmishes with the Klingons took place in this time period and tr'Sahen defected from the Empire to join a band of independent traders. Khre'Riov Klari ordered that tr'Sahen be hunted down and killed. The Raptor, under temporary command by khre'Riov Klari, arrain'Riov Zog tr'Llweii and other Raptor crew succesfully tracked tr'Sahen's ship to the Ferengi homeworld. By order of Klari, the Raptor attacked and destroyed the ship, but tr'Sahen escaped. T'Sahen, being upset, took over leadership of the s'Sahen and this was the beginning of bad blood between s'Sahen and s'Llweii. By this time, Hamakto had assumed the leadership of the s'Llweii. Hamakto and Zog were working to rebuild the s'Llweii to its former days of glory and had gained the respect of many of the high ranking officers in the Empire.

Mid February 1993:
Hamakto began to correspond with a Klingon named Moikk, who was offering to defect to the Empire. Hamakto discussed this with Enriov Llhran, who was the head of the Tal at the time. Llhran made the decision to attempt a rescue mission to Klinzhai to retrieve the defector. Llhran asked erei'Riov Hamakto, arrain'Riov Zog, arrain'Riov O'gion, and an ensign to carry out this mission. The group assembled on the ChR Ael'Tei, and proceeded to Klinzhai, cloaked. Enriov Llhran ordered that the ship be moved within transporter range of Klinzhai and as the ship approached, Llhran and Hamakto waited in the transporter room to beam down to the Rihannsu embassy. Just as the ship got within transporter range, the Klingon base locked weapons and fired. Llhran and Hamakto successfully made it to the surface, but the three others were killed. Enriov Llhran then completed his duties and committed suicide in disgrace. Later that same day, a Federation light cruiser was spotted in Rihannsu space. The ChR Stiletto, with Raaas, P'ttnger and Shandavik aboard, was ordered to investigate. As the Stiletto proceeded, it spotted the missile frigate USS Dixon Hill and the battleship USS Lexington. Riov Raaas, noticing that the Dixon Hill was a considerable distance away from the Lexington, engaged the Dixon Hill and successfully destroyed it. Unfortunately, the Lexington was able to close the distance before the Stiletto could cloak and escape. The Lexington fired on and destroyed the Stiletto, and all hands were lost. That same day, the Battle of Defense Base 1 was fought, ending in a standoff, with no further losses on either side.

Late February 1993:
Right after Llhran was killed, S'ingleton was promoted to Tal Shiar Legion Commander by Fvillha R'chai. About a week later, Riovs S'Torm Y'Mega and Thorn were all promoted to Enarrain. S'Torm and Y'Mega stayed in the Bloodwing, while Thorn left to become second in command of the Tal Shiar under S'ingleton. Also, erei'Riov S'Loner who was first officer on the Viper under Thorn was promoted to Riov.

March 10-15, 1993:
S'Taleron defected with the Rihannsu battleship vas'Deletham.

March 1993:
Former erei'Riov Sahen turned himself in to the Tal Shiar and at this time Thorn convinced Cerrine T'Sahen to defect from her SF Ambassadorial posting to the Rihannsu Empire. She consented and came to see Sahen's death on ch'Rihan. Thorn escorted Sahen back into Rihannsu Space aboard the Viper, and because he turned himself in, Thorn permitted Sahen an honorable suicide.

April 1, 1993:
The Stiletto was replaced by the Ael'Raaas under the command of F'tllhein.

Mid April 1993:
The Ra'Kholh was destroyed with Vaehrok, F'lar, and T'Ribo aboard. Thorn enlists T'Sahen into the Tal Shiar and places her in the Intelligence Division due to her Starfleet contacts. She is eventually placed on an assignment by Thorn to find and kill the traitor S'Taleron and save face for the Empire and the disgrace of his defection.

April 29, 1993:
The Rihannsu battleship ChR Vriha T'liss was commissioned.

April 30, 1993:
The Battle of Flagrante Bello was fought. The list of ships destroyed at Flagrante Bello is as follows: the battleship USS Lexington, the heavy cruiser USS Nimitz, IKV Prang (the Klingon Imperial Intelligence vessel, carrying their chief of intelligence), IKV Gegh'tar, and IKV veSqem. IKV Prang was the first ship destroyed and the USS Yorktown surrendered, but was able to escape when no pursuit force was organized in time. The only damage to a Rihannsu vessel was to the newly-commissioned Vriha T'liss which suffered 1% damage to its hull. The entire Rihannsu, Gorn, Federation, and Klingon fleets were present, while The Cardassians sent the light cruiser CSV Reklar in on the Federation-Klingon side but was the first ship to flee the battle.

June 1993:
S'Taleron was assassinated by a Tal Shiar hit team which travelled on the ChR Viper to the Lame Duck, outwitting the Starfleet ship which S'Taleron travelled on in a game of cat-and-mouse. After much posturing, the Starfleet ship (USS Dixon Hill B) was convinced to back off into HUB safe space, unfortunately for them leaving S'Taleron stranded over 10,000 units away on the Lame Duck. The hit team, commanded by T'Sahen and consisting of Saetras and Riov S'Loner, beamed aboard the Lame Duck and shot S'Taleron, Saetras scoring the kill. The team beamed back the Viper and retreated back to Rihannsu Space.
